BauGPT

BauGPT (formerly Crafthunt) is a Munich-based AI-powered platform for construction job placement and workforce management in Europe, founded in 2022 by Jonas Stamm, Patrick Christ, Emil Kirchheiner, and Themi Tsiotas von Pfaler. Dr. Anna Hocker joined the founding team in 2023. The company rebranded from Crafthunt to BauGPT in 2025, unifying its brand around its AI product suite. BauGPT operates Europe's largest network of construction professionals and employers, with over 70,000 skilled trade professionals and companies in the building and construction sector on the platform. The core platform uses AI-powered matching to connect construction job openings — for construction managers, foremen, and skilled trade workers — with suitable candidates. In early 2023, the company launched 'BauGPT,' a free AI assistant that understands German building codes and industry terminology, automating everyday tasks for construction professionals. The platform serves both job seekers and construction companies across Europe, with a particular focus on the German-speaking market. The company raised approximately €3 million in seed funding, with backing from investors including UVC Partners.
